Can someone help out I’m confused.

Answer:

[tex]a_n=(-2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So a geometric sequence can be explicitly defined as: [tex]a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex]. IN this case we're given r, but we don't know what a_1 is. We can find this by lugging in 4 as n, and -8 as a_n, since they're given values

Plug known values in:

[tex]-8 = a_1(-2)^{4-1}[/tex]

Subtract the values in the exponent

[tex]-8 = a_1(-2)^3[/tex]

Simplify the exponent

[tex]-8 = a_1 (-8)[/tex]

Divide both sides by -8

[tex]1=a_1[/tex]

So the nth term can be defined as: [tex]a_n = 1(-2)^{n-1}[/tex], and since the 1 is redundant, the equation can simply be defined as: [tex]a_n=(-2)^{n-1}[/tex]

There are 9 positive integers with 1 digit (1 - 9).

There are 90 integers with 2 digits (10 - 99).

There are 900 integers with 3 digits (100 - 999).

There are 9000 integers with 4 digits (1000 - 9999).

And so on. It stands to reason that there are [tex]9\times10^{n-1}[/tex] integers with [tex]n[/tex] digits.

Now,

1000 = 9 + 900 + 91

so the 1000th positive integer with an odd number of digits is the 91th number with 3 digits, which is 190.

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using (w+3) as the denominator :

c c • (w + 3)

c = — = ———————————

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

When a fraction equals zero :

3.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

cw+3c-w-4

————————— • w+3 = 0 • w+3

(w+3)

Now, on the left hand side, the w+3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

cw+3c-w-4 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.2 Solve cw+3cw-4 = 0

In this type of equations, having more than one variable (unknown), you have to specify for which variable you want the equation solved.

We shall not handle this type of equations at this time.

Answer:

w = (4 - 3C)/(C - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

C=(4+w)/(w+3)

Multiply both sides of the formula by  w+3:-

C(w + 3) = 4 + w

Cw + 3C = 4 + w

Cw - w = 4 - 3C

w(C - 1) = 4 - 3C

w = (4 - 3C)/(C - 1).

The coordinates of your position are (6, 0, -4).

Answer:

(2, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 9y = 17 → (1)

6x - 5y = 17 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 6 and (2) by - 4 and adding will eliminate x

24x - 54y = 102 → (3)

- 24x + 20y = - 68 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 34y = 34

- 34y = 34 ( divide both sides by - 34 )

y = - 1

substitute y = - 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

4x - 9(- 1) = 17

4x + 9 = 17 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2

solution is (2, - 1 )

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If Anna read 75% of her 300-page book, then she has already read:

300 × 75%

= 300×0.75

= 225

225 pages.

If Anna has already read 225 pages, then she has:

300 - 225 = 75

75 pages left still to read.

If Anna reads 2 minutes per page, then she has

75 × 2 = 150 minutes.

She has 150 minutes of reading left to finish her book.

By the way, it's weird to say you have 150 minutes of something to do. In real life 150 minutes = 2 1/2 hours. jfyi. Have a great day!

Answer:

A. 4(4a + 18)

B. 8(2a + 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

16a = 4×4×a

72 = 4×18

Then

16a + 72 = 4×(4a) + 4×(18)

              = 4 × (4a + 18)

On the other hand,

16a = 8×2×a

72 = 8×9

Then

16a + 72 = 8×(2a) + 8×(9)

              = 8 × (2a + 9)

The transformations applied to F(x) is a vertical shift of 2 and a phase shift of π/2.

When a function is transformed, the graph's curve either "moves to the left/right/up/down," "expands or compresses," or "reflects."

Function transformations are highly useful for graphing functions without having to start from scratch because they allow you to move, extend, compress, or reflect the curve.

The graph of the parent function is either "moved," "resized," or "reflected" by a function transformation. The three primary categories of function transformations are as follows:Translation,Dilation and Reflection.

Because the sample statistic centers around a different value than the population parameter, the sample mean absolute deviation is a biased estimator of the population mean absolute deviation.

Reason Behind a Biased Estimator

The expected value (average) of all the sample absolute deviations must match the population absolute deviation in order for the absolute deviation to function as an unbiased estimator. It does not, however, which makes the values of sample mean absolute deviation behave as a  biased estimator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

406 candles in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

She needs 6 large arrangements with 25 candles in each arrangement.

Multiply 25 and 6 to find how much candles for all large arrangements combined.

25*6=150

She also needs 13 small arrangements with 12 candles in each arrangement.

Multiply 13 and 12 to find how much candles for all the small arrangements combined.

13*12=156

Add the answers together to find how many candles in all.

156+150=406.

She needs 406 candles in all.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

306

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the number of candles needed for each size of arrangement.

Large Arrangements:

6 large arrangements with 25 candles each:

25 × 6 = 150

Small Arrangements:

13 small arrangements with 12 candles each:

13 × 12 = 156

Now we add the results above to find a grand total:

total = 150 + 156 = 306

Area of the entire rectangle is x² + 11x + 30. This can be obtained by adding area of each square.

Method 1

Area of rectangle = length × width  

Area of entire rectangle = x² + 5x + 6x + 30 = x² + 11x + 30

Method 2

Area of entire rectangle = length × width

                                   = (x+6)×(x+5)    

                                  = x² + (6+5)x + (6×5)        [∵(x+a)(x+b) =x² + (a+b)x + ab]

                                    = x² + 11x + 30

Hence area of the entire rectangle is x² + 11x + 30.

The z-test score is used for this hypothesis test to decide whether to reject or not to reject the null hypothesis. The z-test score for the given sample is 1.22.

The z-score for the hypothesis test is calculated by,

z-score = (X - μ)/(σ/√n)

Where X - sample mean, μ - population mean, σ - standard deviation, and n - sample size.

It is given  that,

Sample size n = 30

Population mean μ = 9.7

Sample mean X = 10.1

Standard deviation σ = 1.8

So, the z-score is

Given price of car $169000, deposit of 15%, monthly installments being 1% of left over price and number of years be 9 years.

We have to find the amount of deposit, monthly installments and the total amount paid by Sipho.

We have been told that deposit is 15% of total amount. So the deposit will be 15%*169000=$25350.

Monthly installment is 1% of the left over amount.

left amount=169000-25350=$143650.

Monthly installment being =143650*1/100

Answer:

g and f are inverse functions because g(f(x)) = f(g(x)) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). As we discussed in another question, to find a composite function, apply the outer function to whatever the inner function evaluates to. We can start with f(g(x)):

[tex]f(g(x))=f(\frac{x+6}{7})=7(\frac{x+6}{7} )-6=x+6-6=x[/tex]

Now, let's find g(f(x)):

[tex]g(f(x))=g(7x-6)=\frac{(7x-6)+6}{7} =\frac{7x}{7}=x[/tex]

There is a property that says that if f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, the two functions are inverse. This suggests that g and f are inverse functions. We can verify this by taking one function, switching y and x, and then solving for y. If we complete this process and find that we get the OTHER function, it means the two functions are inverse. Let's try that:

[tex]f(x)=y=7x-6[/tex]

Swap x and y:

[tex]x=7y-6[/tex]

Solve for y:

[tex]x+6=7y\\y=\frac{x+6}{7}[/tex]

Notice that we got g, which means f and g are inverse.
